A 48-year-old Scroggins man’s speed as he drove a Range Rover along State Highway 11 was what caught Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Colin Bradshaw‘s attention and got him stopped near FM 269 at 5:53 p.m. Thursday. However, an outstanding Kaufman County warrant, discovered during a routine records check using his driver’s license, was the reason Larry Murl Smith was arrested Thursday evening, Bradshaw noted in arrest reports.
Trooper Bradshaw took Smith into custody after Texarkana DPS communications confirmed the warrant was active. The Scroggins man was transported to Hopkins County jail, where he was booked in at 7:06 p.m. Feb. 10, 2022, on the outstanding aggravated assault with a deadly weapon warrant, according to arrest reports.
Smith was released from Hopkins County jail Friday, Feb. 11, 2022. Bond on the second-degree felony Kaufman County assault charge was set at $10,000, according to jail reports.
